Sounds lethal to me but apparently it works........usually.

Yep, that's correct apparently it's less hazardous to hook it after a circuit post take off, sounds nuts to me and disappointed I didn't get to see that as my job was to ferry the pro photographer to the vantage point some miles away just before take off, they also eject the banner prior to landing
